What is Screening in Volleyball?
A volleyball Screening is when the players of the serving team prevent their opponent, either by individual or collective action, from seeing the service hit and the trajectory of the ball at the moment of service.
Screening Types in Volleyball
A player or a group of players from the serving team performs a Screening by performing one of the following actions:
-
swing your arms;
-
jumping or moving from side to side during the execution of the service;
-
or grouping in such a way as to hide the serve stroke and the trajectory of the ball until the ball reaches the vertical plane of the net.

If only one or the other condition is visible (hiding the serve stroke or hiding the serve trajectory), this is not considered a Screening.
Screening and Positional Fault
After the ball is hit correctly, the serve becomes foul if the ball passes over a Screening, except if there is a position foul, in which case the positional fault was committed first and that is what will be marked.
